Cheesecake squares, lightened up with yogurt and light cream cheese, baked on a chocolate graham cracker crust drizzled with melted chocolate and topped with fresh raspberries.

With Valentine's Day right around the corner, you NEED to make this cheesecake!

A few years ago I first attempted my first cheesecake with yogurt, and
since then I never looked back. I adapted this from my very popular Strawberry Swirled Cheesecake with chocolate in mind, of course.

And since I always second guess myself when making skinny desserts, I gave this to some of my family members who couldn't give a darn about calories or fat, and they loved it! So, if you need an idea for Valentine's Day (or any day) give this dessert a try.

Mix together graham cracker crumbs and butter with a fork until mixed through. Press evenly into bottom of prepared pan.

Gently beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth using an electric mixer. Gradually beat in fat free yogurt, egg whites and flour., do not over beat. Pour over graham cracker crust.

Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until center is almost set. Cool to room temperature then chill a few hours in the refrigerator.

Cut the cake into 9 slices. Melt the chocolate in the mircowave, 30 seconds at a time until melted, careful not to burn. Use a spatula to drizzle the chocolate all over the top of the cheesecake. Top each piece with 2 raspberries and enjoy!

I literally LIVE for your site! Everything I eat is from your blog and I've lost 22 pounds in under a month. You're better than weight watchers, which I ended my online subscription to when I found this site. I've directed everyone trying to keep their weight down to this site.

I have a binder FULL of your recipes and we use them most nights of the week! I saw this one and immediately thought, hmm, my sister-in-law would love this. Not an hour later I had the link from her in my inbox asking me to make it for her birthday in a couple of weeks! Thanks for all the yumminess and thanks for helping me make healthy food that my kids love! (They devoured the skinny enchiladas last night!)

I made this for sis-in-law's birthday tonight as promised and WOW...it was amazing! Instead of the dipping chocolate, we used dark chocolate Velata fondue and it was to die for. Definitely making this again.

Can I admit that I don't even like cheesecake but I'm mesmerized by this. It's looks beautiful and sounds so nice and light. I'll have to make it a try one day...I know plenty of people who'd love to try it. Happy Friday!

I love this website so much! I am bringing these to my next Book Club! Also, I have been making one of your soups each week for my mom and mom-in-law as a thank you for watching my sons during the week when I work....They have loved everything! Thanks so much!!!

Tried to save this recipe to my recipe box. Got this message: Oops. It looks like we had some trouble saving this recipe...A JSON text must at least contain two octets!Please contact ZipList @ support@ziplist.comDon't understand what any of this message means.

Making this today. Looks amazing. I couldn`t find chocolate graham crackers today(What is going on supermarket!?) so I got teddy grahams in chocolate. Crush Crush Crush! This is going to be delish and amazing. Thanks, Gina!

Made these tonight to take to a casual dinner at friends' house. Everyone loved them, and I even forgot the raspberries. I doubled the recipe and used 1/2 reduced fat and 1/2 nonfat cream cheese. Thanks for yet another winner, Gina!

I am going to make these today for Super Bowl dessert time. They look fantastic! I love your recipes, Gina, and have lost 48 lbs since joining Weight Watchers and using your wonderful ideas. Thanks for all your hard work.

... I made this tonight and it was a hit!!!! My boyfriend only likes plain cheesecake, so I was sure I would have to take in to work for my coworkers... No such chance, as he says it delicious!!!... I made a round one, as my square tin was more than 8 inches long and the mixture wasnt' enough for that size tin... I am definitely making it again for valentines day! As usual Gina, you rock with recipes! Everything I cook these days comes off your site!! Keep up the great work!

You could use choc tiny teddies, or Arnotts choc ripple biscuits. For plain graham crackers I've substituted Marie biscuits, or a mix of Marie biscuits and gingersnaps. I nearly always bring graham crackers back from Canada! If you really want the real thing you could try USA Foods in Melbourne (online store).

These were WONDERFUL! My daughter (9) and I love cheesecake. We ate these and had zero guilt. :) My next try is to use lemon Chobani yogurt for a lemon cheesecake, with a honey graham cracker crust. Making today! Can't wait to see how it turns out.

I'm making this for my coworkers ! I have been on WW for about a month and I've been using a ton of your recipes.. I've lost 20 pounds so far ! My grocery store doesn't have chocolate graham crackers, so I crushed up a ton of Teddy Grahams in the chocolate flavor. Also had to pound them very fine for it to coat the bottom of the pan! Thanks for the recipes :D

I made this for my husband last night as an early Valentines treat for after our son went to bed. AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS!!!!! We had some red wine with it and I actually got it to look just like the picture on here! I think he now loves this website more than I do!!!

Separate foods are also given point values. Based on Weight Watcher's meal program, a certain individual is given a particular criterion for every day which will help him get a lower or just within his range as a way to lose weight.Thanks.Weight Watchers Dessert Recipes

just popped this in the oven. Used a ready made crust however, put in recipe builder on WW and with 10 servings per cheesecake its still 4 points. It was also super easy. I hope it tastes as good as I plan on it tasting!!

Along with your chicken pot pie soup, I made this for dessert since we had a snow storm and it tasted delish!! I love that its only 150 calories, no guilt involved! Thanks for taking the time to post such wonderful recipes. I make your recipes 2-3 times a week.

I made this for Valentine's Day and my mom, grandma and Nana all requested that I make it for Mother's Day brunch tomorrow! This cheesecake is so delicious! It's rich and satisfying but you don't feel sick afterward!

This didn't turn well at all... It was too thick to pour in the dish, and it resulted in a very uneven cheesecake. Frankly there was hardly enough batter to cover the whole pan too. Any idea what could have gone wrong? I'm sure it will still be delicious, but not presentable at all.
